   "About two an a half decades ago, this city used to be part of the great 'Freeland'. It went by a different name that the people of today don't use anymore.

   The nation of Freeland was a great proponent of 'true freedom' and the leaders tried to rule with laws that were more lax than in other nations. But it didn't turn out well. Not long after it was founded, it became completely lawless and the only rule was survival of the fittest.

   It was a very hard time for those with no access to magic. They lived in constant fear and torment, and their standard of living was way below average. They wished fervently for a change and their prayers were answered when people's powers started going off in a part of the country. 

   The powers of people went off irregulary. It lasted for minutes, hours, or just a few seconds but the 'revengers' risked any opportunity that came their way and struck. This started a long war in the nation.

   The revengers armed themselves with weapons of all sorts and went around the affected area killing anyone they believed to use their power wrongly. The 'Metas' didn't just stand back and watch, they figured that the anomaly had a source so they set out to find and destroy it."

   "Our mission is to stop the Metas before they find the source. If we do that, we clear the game and find ourselves in the real Dahüd. If we don't... We might die"

   "Why are we in a game anyway" Shiro asked

   "I mean, how did we even end up here?" Mia added.

   "It's a security system" Orie answered

   "A high level security system that is designed to trap anyone that anyone that tries to teleport into the city"

  "You knew about this system" Shiro said

  "Then why did you try to teleport into the city anyway" Mia asked

   "It is a system that is only turned on in a serious state of emergency" Orie replied

   "I didn't expect the situation to be so severe that they would have to activate the system"

   

   "We need to clear this game fast before things get a whole lot worse" Orie said as he walked around the house and started opening drawers and cabinets and every door he could find while the others followed him. 

   "You said that the powers go on and off right? Shiro asked

   "So we just have to wait for our own to come back?" Mia added

   Orie heard them and sniggered a little. Then turned around and said to them "That's not how it works"

   "That theory only applies to the NPCs in the game" he said

   "As for the players, we're all powerless"

   "So if know what is good for you, grab a few weapons and arm yourselves" he said as he tossed a variety of guns and swords at them.

   "Because we are about to step into a dangerous place"

   "Just one question" Shiro said as they were getting ready.

   "How dangerous exactly?" He asked

Then Orie looked at him and said "where we are right now is a hiding place for the Metas"

   "And in about five minutes, thier powers are going to come back on"

   "Luckily, I've played this game before so if you follow my instructions, you have a little less to worry about"
